A to Z: Ramble

More on Levon Helm, his death is still on my mind. Levon was also known for hiving his Rambles in Woodstock, New York. I thought I would gather some highlights from some of them and share to honor the memory of Levon.

Here they are when they brought the Ramble on the road performing "Chest Fever":

Here they are performing "No Depression in Heaven"


No there is no depression in Heaven since Levon is there to keep the beat..

Levon Helm

Sad news Levon Helm passed away today. He was a drummer, mandolin player, and vocalist for The Band.
He was the first concert I reviewed on the Maryland Theatre Guide and the only one I co-wrote with Erica Laxson. You can read it here. Actually Erica wrote most of it, I added a little bit to it. She also moved over to DC Metro Theater Arts as well and you can read more about her here.

Here is a picture I took with my phone from that concert last year...


At least he got to tour with family and friends during his latter years. I'm sure it was fun for him to watch his family members become musicians and to be close to them. It is sad cancer took another person. Here is a song from the show "Attics of My Life"

News of his death..



A recent version of "The Weight" featuring Wilco...


Rest in peace..Levon Helm
